The House of Representatives voted last evening on a resolution authorizing a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. It was a very close vote because the House is so narrowly divided.

Speaker Mike Johnson set the stage for this vote with an opinion piece in USA Today outlining several serious accusations against the Biden crime family. They are:

• From 2014 to 2019, Biden family members and their affiliate companies received more than $15 million from foreign companies and foreign nationals in Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Romania and China. Biden business associates received an additional $9 million.
• There are at least 22 examples of Joe Biden speaking with or meeting with Hunter Biden’s foreign business associates.
• President Biden and the White House have lied multiple times about his involvement in his family’s business schemes.
• Last week, investigators released information showing payments to Joe Biden from Hunter Biden’s business account, which was funded by payments from China.
• Investigators also released an interim report detailing the special treatment Hunter Biden received from Joe Biden’s Justice Department.
• A credible FBI source relayed information about an alleged bribe Joe Biden accepted during his time as vice president.

Speaker Johnson concluded his letter with this vow to discover the truth:

“The American people have a right to know whether the president — through his family — traded official acts for foreign dollars, whether the president is compromised and whether Joe Biden abused his power as president to impede or obstruct the investigation into Hunter Biden. As we have done all along, House Republicans will continue to follow the facts where they lead.”

Speaking for the Biden crime family, Hunter Biden showed up on Capitol Hill yesterday morning. But instead of speaking with House investigators, he held a press conference and then promptly left.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer and House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan are now launching contempt of Congress proceedings against Hunter Biden.

Biden Bashes Israel, Again

Joe Biden knows that he likely can’t win reelection without the Hamas wing of the Democrat Party. That’s why he went all in on bashing Israel yet again. It’s very telling that his comments came at a private fundraiser the day after the White House Chanukah party.

Biden accused Israel of “indiscriminately bombing” civilians in Gaza and losing international support as a result. He also demanded that Netanyahu change his government and accused him of opposing a so-called “two-state solution.” (See next item.)

Attacking the prime minister’s government in the middle of this brutal war is a strange way to show your support for an ally. It’s a coalition government made up of representatives of every major party. If Bibi tried to “change the government,” it would collapse, and Biden knows that.

Meanwhile, Biden will defend Volodymyr Zelensky no matter what he does. Zelensky can ban opposition parties, shut down churches, censor and nationalize the media and there’s nothing but cheerleading from the Biden White House. But Israel is “too extreme.”

By the way, where are all the progressive calls for a cease-fire in Ukraine?

As for Israel losing international support, many nations couldn’t care less about Israel. They would rejoice if what happened on October 7th to 1,200 Israelis happened to 7 million Israelis.

Listening to Biden bash Israel, I can only assume that he has his eyes on becoming a president of an American university after he leaves the White House. He would fit right in with the president of Harvard.

Biden will do anything he has to — from stoking racial discord, to lying, to throwing an ally under the bus — to win.

No Hamastan

The Biden White House and the American foreign policy establishment will not let go of the fiction of “two-states, Israel and Palestine, living together side-by-side in peace.” It’s not going to happen.

Consider this: A new poll of Palestinians finds that 72% believe Hamas was “correct” to attack Israel on October 7th, and 89% denied that the vicious murders, rapes and desecration of Jewish bodies constituted “war crimes.”

How do you make peace with that?

Biden is irritated with Netanyahu because he made it clear that “Gaza will be neither Hamastan nor Fatahstan,” adding, “After the great sacrifice of our civilians and our soldiers, I will not allow the entry into Gaza of those who educate for terrorism, support terrorism and finance terrorism.”

That’s totally reasonable.

If only we had a president who thought as clearly about the interests of our country as Netanyahu thinks about his. (We have a chance for that next November!)

Benjamin Netanyahu gets up every morning with the same thought that every other world leader has, “How can I make my country safer, stronger and more prosperous today?”

But when we get a president like that in office, the left condemns him as “a nationalist,” as if looking out for your country is a bad thing.

Meanwhile in Israel, the Tomb of Joshua was vandalized by Hamas sympathizers. They spray-painted the walls with calls for the death of the Jews and praise for the jihadists of October 7th.

It reminded me of what was projected onto the walls of the George Washington University library. The same people vandalizing the Tomb of Joshua may well have relatives attending our elite universities. Just one of the great benefits of globalism.

By the way, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security are warning of a heightened terrorism risk around the holidays, inspired in part by the ongoing war between Hamas and Israel.

Well, I’m certain that we have no reason to fear an outbreak of Jewish terrorism. But radical Palestinian demonstrators are increasingly targeting Christmas events.

Voters Fraud Is Real

A new Rasmussen poll is raising a lot of eyebrows. It found that 21% of mail-in voters in 2020 admitted to engaging in some form of voter fraud.

Some filled out ballots that weren’t theirs.

Some signed or witnessed a ballot without permission.

Others cast a ballot in a state where they were no longer a legal resident.

Keep this poll handy the next time someone in the media, or one of the growing numbers of hacks on Fox News, insists that there’s no evidence of significant voter fraud.

Meanwhile, judges in Connecticut and Louisiana have recently voided elections because of fraud, which we’re told never happens.
